The King George VI Chase betting odds for 2025 were shaken up last weekend, with the first three in the market all winning – including Gaelic Warrior, who was a gutsy winner of the John Durkan Memorial Chase at Punchestown.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

As a result, Gaelic Warrior is now the clear favourite for the Kempton Boxing Day feature – as he looks to give trainer Willie Mullins a third win in the big ITV Racing<\/a> festive race.<\/p>\n

    Gaelic Warrior Bidding To Become First John Durkan Winner To Follow Up In King George Since Kicking King\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n

    The 2025 John Durkan Memorial Chase was billed up as the best staying chase of the season so far.<\/p>\n

    And even though only two horses got into the race – it didn’t disappoint.<\/p>\n

    Stablemates, Fact To File and Gaelic Warrior dominated the betting beforehand and that was the same story in the race.<\/p>\n

    With the front-running Gaelic Warrior battling back to collar Fact To File on the line after being headed.<\/p>\n

    As a result, the best horse racing betting sites slashed his King George VI Chase betting odds to 15\/8 and is now the big Boxing Day favourite to pay for the Christmas turkeys.<\/p>\n

    With Fact Of File, pushed out to 8\/1.<\/p>\n

    That John Durkan win came over 2m 3 1\/2f, but Gaelic Warrior is a very versatile horse when it comes to trip.<\/p>\n

    Don’t forget he won the Bowl Chase at Aintree last season over 3m1f – when slamming the easy Betfair Chase winner Grey Dawning.<\/p>\n

    Gaelic Warrior Is Two-From-Two Over 3m+<\/strong><\/h3>\n

    Plus has also won over hurdles at three miles – and is, in fact, two-from-two when racing over three+ miles.<\/p>\n

    Therefore, many are saying his mix of speed and stamina are the perfect ingredients for the King George VI Chase – which is often run at a searching gallop.<\/p>\n

    If he can follow-up, Gaelic Warrior will be the first John Durkan Memorial Chase winner to land the King George in the same season since Kicking King in 2004.<\/p>\n

    While before ‘The King’ it was another Willie Mullins-trained horse that did the double – Florida Pearl in 2001.<\/p>\n
